Hello leaders! Welcome to episode 104! Today we’re talking about your word for the year! More specifically, how to make the most of your year using your word!
Ok, for those of you that have your word here are 3 strategies to use your word to guide you and maximize your results this year.
One: each week I want you to begin by looking over your schedule with your word in mind. Look for opportunities where you know your word will be helpful.
This may be on days you know you’ll need it. Maybe you have certain events on your calendar that are truly going to allow you to put your word to work.
This is for both challenging times and times of celebration.
Strategy number two. At the end of each week, I want you to reflect on your week and journal about lessons learned with your word in mind. How did it guide you? How did your word carry you? What situations, interactions, or conversations transpired where your word was essential? What lessons did you learn?
Strategy number three. Pick one business goal where you can focus your word this coming week. Will it be financials? Will it be on building leaders? Will it be a business goal related to your personal development as a leader? Which business goal will you choose to focus on and apply your one word?
Pick one, and zone in on your word as you go about your week. The following week, choose a different business goal. Play around with this. Choose a business goal each week that feels timely.
I use my word throughout the day as a mantra as well as all of the strategies I just gave you. When I’m challenged, I repeat it in the moment. When I’m wishing the easy way would come, I say my word over and over again to myself.
When I’m feeling defeated, discouraged, or doubtful, I remember my word and it creates an immediate shift in my thinking, my energy, and my focus.
I remember it because I use these 3 strategies. My focus is intentional. I not only do my weekly planning at the beginning of each week with my word in mind, but I also journal at the end of each week about lessons learned. I also choose a business goal to apply my word for the week.
This truly brings it top-of-mind for me. Using it as a mantra throughout the day comes naturally.
I hope these strategies have you eager and excited to approach this week and the coming weeks with an assurance you’re doing everything to have your word truly helping you make the most of this year!
